Crazy Patch Fun

April 22, 2010

Hello
I'm afraid I've been really slack at doing posts this month, sometimes life just takes over.
But I'm back and I wanted to share my latest sewing project with you. I have been busy making bags, they are such fun, I find as I am making one another idea for another bag is running around in my head. I love that these are so quick and easy, you can let your imagination run wild, which is what I have been doing.
I have had such fun today doing crazy patch, so far I only have the front of the bag together ready for all the wonderful embellishment that I am itching to do. I will be able to play with all the fancy stitches on my new machine and all the trims I have collected.
Here is a picture of the unfinished front of the bag.
Doing crazy patch is such fun you don't have to worry about accuracy, it is total freedom. I was a little worried about my colour choices at first but it has worked out fine.
I will post the finnished bag in the next post, hopefully by next week.
Here is one I've almost finished, just waiting for the magnetic clasp.
This one needs a name, any suggestions?
Love to read your comments
Happy stitching
Sharon

I have been missing in action for a few days....... do you get withdrawal symptoms when you don't get to sew?... I do. Seriously I'm addicted!

Today is a good day, I am in my happy place at the sewing machine. My machine is cleaned and oiled, with a new needle and I am ready to go. I plan to get busy finishing the flying geese units for the final border on my Vintage Nine Patch Quilt.

This month (January) the Small Wonders Club quilt pattern is called 'Rose of Thorns'. I am in love with this little quilt it has all my favourite colours in it and of course a little applique too. I think I'm also addicted to Flying Geese blocks, they are so cute in the border. Rose Of Thorns measures 22 inches square.
